You should have left the finish alone would have been worth a small fortune.

I got it when I was 14, 34 Years ago. It's seen millions of shows. The paint never would have held up. It's been painted 2x. Thinking of a Black Holoflake finish..

ooh maan... classic axe

Yes a classic, old like me

How does she play?

I've been playing it for 34 years, needless to say I play on it a little different than all my other guitars. It plays like a dream.

Cool ,Wish I had a guitar or 2 when Started playing.

Nice guitars for sure, I used to live in Redlands CA where he had his shop just before he moved it to San Dimas. The Charvel I had was made there and is the one guitar I wished I had never sold.
